Sam Pee Yalley, the former Ghanaian High Commissioner to India and President of the NDC Professionals Forum, has passed away.
He died on Sunday at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, though the cause of his sudden demise has not been officially confirmed.
His passing has prompted an outpouring of tributes, particularly from members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, shared his condolences on social media, describing Yalley as both a “brother and friend.”
“I learned with pain the passing of my brother and friend, Ambassador Sam Pee Yalley, an astute statesman and respected member of our party, the National Democratic Congress,” Bagbin wrote. “Ambassador Yalley was a champion of professionalism in politics and a key figure of the NDC’s Professionals Forum.
Ambassador Yalley, a distinguished lawyer and public servant, was appointed as Ghana’s Ambassador to India in 2014 by then-President John Mahama.
Prior to his diplomatic career, he served as the Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the National Pensions Regulatory Authority.
Known for his advocacy, Yalley was a strong proponent of female leadership in Ghana, a cause he championed throughout his life.
His influence extended beyond his work in diplomacy and law, as he was deeply committed to social justice and professional excellence.
His contributions have left a lasting impact on both the NDC and Ghana’s diplomatic and public service sectors.
The nation now mourns the loss of a respected leader whose life’s work continues to inspire those who knew him.
